Town  Report  Preparation  -  Teresa  Fortier 


The  Athenian  Oath 

We  will  never  bring  disgrace  to  this  our  town,  by 
any  act  of  dishonesty  or  cowardice,  nor  ever 
desert  our  suffering  comrades  in  the  ranks;  we 
will  fight  for  the  ideals  and  sacred  things  of  the 
town,  both  alone  and  with  many;  we  will  revere 
and  obey  the  town's  laws  and  do  our  best  to 
incite  a  like  respect  in  those  above  us  who  are 
prone  to  annul  or  set  them  at  naught;  we  will 
strive  unceasingly  to  quicken  the  public's  sense 
of  civic  duty,  thus  in  all  these  ways  we  will 
transmit  this  town  not  only  less,  but  greater  and 
more  beautiful  than  it  was  transmitted  to  us. 


In  Memory 


Of 


All  the  victims  of  September  11,  2001 


Board  of  Selectmen 


This  year's  Town  Report  is  dedicated  to  the  remembrance  of  all  the  victims  of  the  terrorist  attacks  on  September 
11,2001. 

The  people  of  Hatfield,  like  the  rest  of  the  nation,  were  truly  shocked  at  the  enormity  of  the  loss  of  life.  But  in  the 
days  that  followed,  Hatfield  stood  together,  united,  with  the  rest  of  the  nation  and  our  allies,  and  re -kindled  the 
sense  of  resolve  that  has  served  us  so  well  in  past  national  emergencies. 

On  the  evening  of  September  14th,  a  candlelight  ceremony  was  held  in  front  of  the  Memorial  Town  Hall  as  part  of 
the  "National  Day  of  Prayer  and  Remembrance"  that  had  been  called  by  President  Bush.  The  ceremony  was 
organized  at  the  request  of  local  Scout  leaders  who  were  assisted  by  the  Town  Hall  staff.  Although  the  ceremony 
included  comments  from  community  leaders  and  adult  citizens,  the  striking  part  of  the  ceremony  was  the  pain  and 
anguish  of  the  many  young  people  who  came  forward  to  speak  or  sing  a  song  to  express  their  feelings. 


Like  so  many  other  towns  across  America,  here  in  Hatfield  there  was  an  increased  sense  of  patriotism,  a  definite 
"rallying  around  the  flag"  that  was  symbolized  by  the  display  of  the  U.S.  flag  all  around  Town  on  houses,  on 
vehicles,  and  including  the  normal  "Memorial  Day"  display  along  Maple  and  Main  Streets  on  almost  every 
telephone  pole. 


The  months  immediately  after  the  attack  were  of  high  anxiety  for  public  officials  at  all  levels  whose  main  mission 
is  to  protect  the  public.    With  anthrax  virus  being  carried  through  the  mail  system,  a  nationwide  FBI  alert  asking 
for  maximum  vigilance  on  the  part  of  local  agencies,  and  the  unquestionable  desire  of  the  terrorists  to  wreak 
maximum  destruction  to  the  nation,  the  threat  was,  and  remains,  very  real. 


In  September  and  October,  the  Board  of  Selectmen  called  and  held  meetings  with  emergency-related  departments 
to  review  existing  emergency  plans  and  to  jointly  assess  the  threat  and  any  information  received  from  national  and 
state  agencies.    We  established  close  lines  of  communications  with  the  Massachusetts  Emergency  Management 
Agency  (MEMA)  and  the  Local  Emergency  Planning  Committee  of  the  Hampshire  Council  of  Governments 
(COG)  and  also  sent  town  representatives  to  a  series  of  emergency  meetings  conducted  by  the  State's  Department 
of  Public  Health,  MEMA,  the  COG,  and  the  Governor's  Office. 


We  would  like  to  thank  members  of  the  Disaster  Preparedness  Committee,  Police,  Fire  and  Ambulance 
Departments,  the  DPW  and  the  Board  of  Health  on  all  their  extra  efforts  to  keep  up  with  rapidly  changing 
protocols  that  were  established  in  response  to  the  anthrax  and  overall  terrorist  threat. 


We  must  continue  to  show  our  resolve  and  unity  and  take  all  necessary  steps  at  a  local  level  to  prepare  for  future 
emergencies  and  we  consider  this  our  foremost  priority  during  the  upcoming  year. 

Although  2001  will  always  be  remembered  for  the  events  surrounding  September  1 1th,  the  more  routine  business 
of  the  Town  continued  throughout  the  year. 


The  leadership  of  the  Board  changed  in  June  when  Diana  Higgins  replaced  Pat  Gaughan  as  chairperson. 

Another  change  in  the  make-up  of  the  Board  was  precipitated  by  the  resignation  of  Selectman  Ronald  Punska  in 
April.  We  wish  to  express  our  appreciation  to  Ron  for  his  outstanding  service  to  the  Town  and,  at  the  same  time, 
welcome  to  the  Board  his  replacement,  Darryl  Williams,  who  was  elected  at  a  special  election  held  in  July. 

From  a  financial  aspect,  the  impact  of  the  September  1 1th  will  be  continued  to  be  felt  for  years  to  come  as  it 
coincided  with  (or  directly  caused)  a  reduction  in  the  state  receipts  and  a  major  economic  downturn.  The  result  in 
the  immediate  future  will  be  reduced  state  reimbursements  to  towns  and  cities  that  previous  budgets  traditionally 
relied  upon.  In  the  current  FY02  program,  for  example,  over  $59,000  was  eliminated  from  the  state-provided 
preliminary  estimates  that  our  FY02  budget  was  built  upon. 

With  even  bigger  cuts  in  state  reimbursements  possible  for  the  FY03  budget,  the  Town  will  be  hard  pressed  to 
maintain  current  services  without  overrides  of  the  Proposition  2  and  Vi  limits,  or,  the  alternative,  the  cutting  back 
of  services  and  programs. 

There  will  be  many  challenges  within  the  days  ahead.  But  with  all  of  us  working  together  as  we  have  in  the  past, 
and  with  the  continued  public  spirit  and  willingness  of  our  primarily  volunteer  committees  and  commissions,  we 
are  confident  that  the  Town  will  emerge  stronger  than  ever. 

United  we  stand.  God  bless  America. 


Respectfully  Submitted, 
Diana  M.  Higgins 
Patrick  J.  Gaughan 
Darryl  L.  Williams

BOARD  OF  ASSESSORS 


The  Board  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  all  the  residents  and  business  owners  of  Hatfield  for  their 
cooperation  and  assistance  during  the  past  year. 

On  May  1,  2001,  Ronald  Punska  resigned  for  personal  reasons.  Unfortunately,  the  Board  lost  a  valuable  member. 
Ron's  professional  experience,  knowledge  of  the  town  and  insight  is  greatly  missed  and  we  hope  that  he  will 
consider  running  again  for  assessor  in  the  future.  We  thank  Ron  for  his  many  years  of  dedicated  service.  Edward 
Lesko,  Jr.,  who  came  forward  to  offer  his  services  as  assessor,  was  appointed  on  May  22,  2001  by  the  Board  of 
Selectmen  to  serve  until  the  next  town  election.  Ed  is  by  profession  a  construction  manager  and  also  served  as  an 
assessor  in  the  early  1990s.  His  experience  will  be  a  valuable  asset. 

At  the  annual  town  meeting,  voters  agreed  to  adopt  an  article  that  would  set  a  minimum  value  of  $2,000  for 
taxation  under  personal  property.  Personal  property  mostly  consists  of  furniture,  fixtures,  machinery  and 
equipment  used  in  connection  with  a  business  and  farm  equipment.  Actually,  the  only  personal  property  exempt 
from  taxation  is  personal  belongings  such  as  clothes  and  home  furnishings  of  a  primary  domicile  (place  of 
residence).  The  Board  felt  that  acceptance  of  the  article  would  encourage  small  business  growth  in  our 
community. 

After  ten  years  of  productive  service  and  the  fact  that  our  current  assessing  software  is  no  longer  being  supported 
by  the  vendor,  we  are  forced  to  upgrade  the  DOS  based  system  used  in  our  office.  Unlike  private  sector 
businesses  which  upgrade  computer  equipment  and  software  very  few  years,  small  town  departments  must  look 
to  a  long  term  commitment  and  maximize  the  town's  investment  by  acquiring  cutting-edge  technology.  We 
researched  many  software  packages  and  decided  to  convert  to  newly  developed  software  by  Point  Software  of 
East  Longmeadow,  MA.  Point  Software  is  known  throughout  the  state  for  its  very  successful  software  for  tax 
collectors,  a  version  of  which  has  been  in  use  by  our  own  tax  collector  since  this  last  spring.  Point  however  is 
not  unfamiliar  with  requirements  of  assessing  software  as  several  of  their  programmers  were  former  employees 
of  Patriot  Properties,  our  current  software  vendor.  With  both  departments  having  software  from  the  same 
company,  there  will  be  a  seamless  exchange  of  information.  As  an  additional  bonus,  because  Hatfield  will  be 
Point's  first  installation  of  their  assessing  software,  Point  has  agreed  to  wave  the  initial  license  fee,  saving  the 
town  $17,000. 

The  conversion  of  assessing  data  will  begin  as  soon  as  possible  so  that  the  system  will  be  running  smoothly  prior 
to  the  update  of  values  in  2003.  As  a  precaution,  our  older  software  will  be  maintained  as  a  backup.  Another 
benefit  of  the  conversion  for  the  taxpayer  will  be  access  to  property  record  data  on  the  internet.  Property  owners 
who  own  or  have  access  to  a  computer  will  be  able  to  view  and  download  property  information  from  a  link  on  the 
Town's  web  page  at  www.townofhatfield.org.  With  the  use  of  a  digital  camera,  we  will  be  taking  pictures  of 
every  structure  in  Hatfield  which  will  be  downloaded  into  the  assessing  software  and  incorporated  into  the 
property  record  card  data. 

For  the  next  update  of  values  in  calendar  year  2003,  the  Department  of  Revenue  will  be  reviewing  all  property 
record  information  to  see  if  our  department  is  regularly  maintaining  data  for  the  whole  town.  The  field  work 
required  for  such  an  undertaking  is  being  done  by  the  Administrative  Assistant  Assessor,  JoAnn  Greenleaf. 
JoAnn  hopes  to  complete  all  field  work  in  2002  so  that  in  2003  only  properties  that  have  building  permits  will 
need  to  be  reviewed. 

There  is  a  new  addition  to  our  office  staff.  David  Zagorski,  who  resides  in  Easthampton,  replaces  Audrey 
Thompson  as  Assessors  Clerk.  David  is  an  enthusiastic  learner  who  hopes  to  someday  be  an  assessor.

The  Board  meets  twice  a  month  on  Wednesday  at  7:00  P.M.  Please  watch  the  Gazette,  check  the  Town  Hall 
Bulletin  Board  or  call  our  office  at  247-0322  for  exact  dates.  As  always  we  encourage  anyone  wishing  to  meet 
with  the  Board  to  schedule  an  appointment  for  our  meeting  agenda.  Our  office  is  open  Monday  through 
Thursday  8:00  A.M.  to  12:00  P.M.  and  12:30  to  4:30  P.M.  and  Friday  8:30  A.M.  to  12:00  P.M.  and  12:30  to  4:00

were  distributed.  The  population  as  of  January  1,  2002  was  3484.    The  annual  census  since  1950  shown 
below  illustrates  the  population  changes  of  our  community.

HATFIELD  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield, 

The  Trustees  are  pleased  to  present  to  the  townspeople  a  report  of  the  year's  accomplishments  at  your  public 
library  and  an  outline  of  our  goals  for  the  future. 

Our  Library  Director  Pam  Jacobson  has  once  again  done  an  excellent  job  of  providing  library  services  to  the 
community  while  managing  the  budget,  supervising  personnel  and  interacting  with  town  administration,  working 
with  state  and  regional  library  organizations,  and  overseeing  building  and  maintenance  needs,  and,  again,  receives 
high  praise  for  her  efforts.  She  is  ably  assisted  in  her  work  by  library  assistants  Josie  Zgrodnik,  Bernice  Kellogg, 
Evie  Prucnal,  and  Rita  Prew.  Friends  of  the  Library  also  assist  as  volunteers  on  a  regular  basis. 

Circulation  is  holding  steady  with  a  total  of  16,01 1  items  circulated  out  of  a  collection  of  25,  338  books,  journals, 
and  audio-visual  materials.  More  than  7,200  patrons  were  served  this  year  and  636  attended  children's  programs. 
On  the  subject  of  circulation,  a  new  circulation  desk,  custom  designed  to  serve  the  needs  of  staff  and  patrons,  was 
installed.  It  is  quite  attractive  and  highly  functional  and  in  keeping  with  the  decor  of  the  building. 

Other  improvements  to  the  100  year  old  building  include  a  new  boiler,  new  locks  on  the  exterior  doors  and  in  the 
office,  and  some  plumbing  work.  We  are  quite  concerned  about  the  condition  of  the  roof  and  problems  with 
drainage  around  the  foundation  in  the  event  of  heavy  precipitation  both  posing  threats  not  only  to  the  library's 
collection,  but  also  to  that  of  the  Historical  Society  housed  on  the  second  floor. 

Children's  needs  have  remained  a  priority.  A  variety  of  multi-media  pre-school  kits  are  available  for  circulation 
and  have  proven  to  be  quite  popular.    Pam  is  working  with  Breor  Elementary  School  personnel  in  a  co-operative 
program  to  encourage  children's  reading.  Several  children's  programs,  featuring  Tom  McCabe,  Marge  Bruchac, 
and  John  Porcino,  were  held  over  the  summer  and  the  Summer  Reading  Program,  "First  of  All. .  .Read"  found 
more  than  fifty  children  participating.  This  year,  for  the  first  time,  the  library  worked  in  co-operation  with  the 
Summer  Recreation  Program,  thus  increasing  attendance  at  Story  Hour. 

With  a  grant  from  the  Community  Partnership,  new  furniture  and  rugs  for  the  Children's  Room  were  purchased, 
and  most  importantly,  a  collection  of  parenting  materials  is  now  available,  housed  on  the  top  of  the  card  catalog, 
for  parents'  needs. 

The  reference  room/office  has  been  re-arranged  and  a  computer  workstation  with  Internet  access  is  up  and 
running.  The  Hatfield  Library  established  our  own  Internet  Policy  and  we  have  done  extensive  work  reviewing 
the  Children's  Internet  Policy  Act  which  is  now  being  reviewed  by  the  Supreme  Court.  We  remain  committed  to 
the  American  Library  Association's  Freedom  to  Read  Statement  and  the  Library  Bill  of  Rights. 
Another  important  new  policy  adopted  this  year  is  our  Collection  Development  Policy  outlining  the  basis  for 
selection  and  deselection  of  items  purchased  for  the  collection  as  well  as  for  gifts  and  donations. 

In  addition  to  outreach  to  the  children  in  town,  a  program  is  in  effect  providing  materials  on  loan  to  Capawonk 
Housing  for  the  Elderly. 

We  continue  to  be  indebted  to  the  Friends  of  the  Hatfield  Library  for  their  fund-raising,  special  programs,  and 
volunteer  assistance  at  the  library,  and  to  Rita  Prew  in  her  role  as  liaison  between  the  Friends  and  the  Trustees. 
The  Long-Range  Plan,  after  much  hard  work  by  Pam  and  discussion  by  all  of  us,  has  been  accepted  by  the 
Massachusetts  Board  of  Library  Commissioners.  It  outlines  our  goals  for  the  next  five  years. 

As  always,  one  of  our  greatest  needs  is  for  adequate  and  appropriate  space  for  the  library  collection.  We  await  the 
final  report  of  the  Property  and  Space  Committee  and  their  appraisal  of  the  Dickinson  Building  as  well  as 
recommendations  for  improvements  to  be  made.  We  have  worked  closely  with  the  Historical  Commission  and 
Historical  Society  in  evaluating  our  common  and  different  space  needs.  Discussion  with  the  Capital  Planning 
Committee  is  a  goal  for  the  near  future. 

51 


The  Hatfield  Public  Library  is  open  five  days  or  evenings  each  week,  providing  townspeople  with  a  wide  variety 
of  fiction,  non-fiction,  periodicals,  and  audio-visual  items,  now  also  brings  the  world  to  Hatfield  via  the  Internet, 
and  is  staffed  by  dedicated  and  knowledgeable  staff  people  who  are  here  to  serve  our  literary  and  information 
needs.

AMBULANCE  DEPARTMENT 

The  Ambulance  Department  is  in  good  shape.  We  have  provided  emergency  care  for  281  patients,  during  the 
2001  calendar  year.  We  (the  Emergency  Medical  Technicians)  are  all  higher  trained  than  we  were  last  year.  The 
Ambulance  now  carries  new  equipment  and  drugs  that  we  could  not  carry  or  use  last  year.  This  took  many  extra 
hours  of  classroom  and  skills  practice.  It  seems  that  the  state  is  always  busy  changing  or  adding  something  to  our 
job  description,  but  we  are  proudly  keeping  up.  Our  department's  objective  has  always  been  to  provide  the  best 
care  available  to  our  patients  and  we  are  succeeding. 

The  year  brought  us  four  new  Emergency  Medical  Technicians.  Dennis  Nazarro,  John  Stinglein,  John  Labresque, 
and  Scott  Pomeroy  are  our  new  Ambulance  Department  members.  They  are  welcome  additions  to  our  service. 
Hampshire  County  has  funded  both  basic  and  advanced  level  EMT  courses,  which  we  have  taken  advantage  of 
and  saved  thousands  of  dollars  in  training.  Many  of  our  EMTs  were  trained  in  classes  funded  by  Hampshire 
County. 

Dennis  Nazarro  is  the  first,  and  currently  the  only,  full  time  member  of  our  department.  He  is  shared  between  the 
Fire  and  Ambulance  departments.  This  position  has  insured  partial  daytime  staffing  and  the  ability  for  the 
ambulance  department  to  be  compliant  with  the  demands  of  regulations,  without  asking  more  of  the,  already 
taxed,  on-call  technicians. 

Please,  make  sure  that  you  and  your  family  members  are  ready  if  an  emergency  presents  itself.  Be  sure  that  your 
house  number  can  easily  be  seen  from  the  street.  Also,  keep  a  list  of  your  medical  conditions,  medications,  and 
allergies  available  to  help  us  help  you. 

Respectfully  Submitted, 

Gregory  J.  Gagnon,  Ambulance  Manager 

Stephen  Gaughan,  Assistant  Ambulance  Manager

As  I  sat  down  to  write  this  report  and  remembering  all  that  happened  to  this  department  in  the  past  year,  I 
immediately  thought  of  all  of  our  comrades  who  lost  their  lives  on  September  1 1 ,  200 1  and  how  all  of  our  lives 
have  changed  since  then.  I  ask  that  you  think  of  the  sacrifice  they  all  made  that  day  doing  what  they  were  trained 
to  do,  something  that  this  department  trains  in  also  with  the  hope  that  we  never  have  to  use  the  training  in  life  and 
death  situations.  53 


As  reported  in  my  report  last  year,  our  new  Engine  had  been  ordered  and  it  arrived  in  town  in  mid-March.  The 
department  then  spent  many  hours  over  the  next  few  months  getting  all  the  members  familiar  with  the  operation 
of  the  truck  and  doing  a  vigorous  driver  training  of  the  vehicle.  With  the  cost  of  this  vehicle,  it  was  felt  that  the 
firefighters  had  to  be  thoroughly  trained  in  its  use  before  it  was  to  be  put  into  service,  which  we  did  on  April  26. 
Within  45  minutes  of  putting  our  new  Engine  1  in  service,  our  department  was  dispatched  to  Hardwick  as  part  of 
a  State  taskforce.  I  am  happy  to  say  that  the  Engine  performed  well,  pumping  all  night  to  a  Tower  Ladder  from 
Palmer  in  helping  to  control  a  large  warehouse  fire. 

As  approved  at  Town  Meeting  in  May  of  2000,  a  full-time  position  was  established  for  a  firefighter/EMT.  This 
person  was  to  work  for  both  the  Hatfield  Ambulance  and  the  Fire  Department.  After  going  through  the  applicants, 
six  people  were  chosen  to  be  interviewed  and  after  careful  consideration  Dennis  Nazzaro  was  offered  the  position 
and  he  started  on  May  1 ,2001 .  Dennis  has  been  very  busy  working  for  the  Fire  Department  doing  all  of  the 
inspections,  pre  planning,  fire  incident  reports  and  doing  presentations  on  fire  safety  to  some  local  businesses. 
Dennis  also  does  weekly  equipment  checks,  starting  small  power  tools,  making  sure  all  the  SCBA's  are  working 
properly,etc.  and  this  in  turn  allows  the  on-call  personnel  more  time  to  train.  This  position  has  been  working 
extremely  well  and  I  hope  the  Town  continues  to  fund  the  position. 

Last  year  was  the  first  time  the  State  of  Massachusetts  provided  funds  for  a  grant  in  the  sum  of  $10  million 
through  the  Office  of  Public  Safety  for  the  purchase  of  Firefighter  Safety  Equipment.  The  Hatfield  Fire 
Department  was  awarded  the  sum  of  $14,844.00  which  was  used  to  purchase  a  thermal  imager  camera,  (3)  sets  of 
turnout  gear,  personal  pass  devices,  nomex  hoods,  (5)  SCBA  masks  and  some  rescue  rope.  All  of  these  items  were 
much  needed  and  have  been  a  welcome  addition  to  our  department,  allowing  us  tools  to  help  make  out  job  safer 
for  the  firefighters. 

The  Fire  Department  was  also  awarded  a  Student  Awareness  of  Fire  Education  (S.A.F.E.)  Program  grant  for  the 
first  time,  once  again  through  the  Office  of  Public  Safety.  Worth  Noyes,  our  S.A.F.E  education  coordinator,  along 
with  help  from  several  of  the  firefighters,  worked  with  the  entire  grade  levels  in  the  Breor  Elementary  School.  The 
children  were  taught  how  to  "stop,  drop  and  roll"  and  encouraged  to  develop  escape  drills  in  the  home  and  the 
importance  of  having  a  designated  "meeting  place"  outside  for  the  family.  They  were  also  given  the  opportunity 
to  see  first  hand  how  to  escape  a  smoke  filled  room  and  what  to  do  in  an  emergency  with  the  help  of  the  "S.A.F.E 
trailer  that  we  had  in  Town  on  two  occasions  for  this  purpose.  The  department  is  looking  forward  to  continuing 
this  program  in  the  future. 

I  would  like  to  remind  the  Towns  people  that  smoke  detectors  inspections  are  scheduled  for  Friday  mornings,  you 
need  to  call  Town  Hall  and  you  will  be  given  a  time  between  8:30  AM  and  12  noon  for  the  inspection.  If  we 
receive  notice  from  a  contractor  for  any  other  inspections  needed,  such  as  a  new  oil  burner,  you  will  be  contacted 
and  a  time  will  be  arranged. 

Open  burning  permits  are  issued  at  the  Town  Hall  on  weekdays  and  on  weekends  and  Holidays  they  are  issued  at 
the  Fire  Station  between  the  hours  of  8  AM-  10  AM.  Open  burning  is  allowed  from  January  15  thru  May  1  with  a 
permit  for  brush  only.  I  encourage  anyone  who  wishes  to  burn  brush,  to  do  it  early  in  the  season.  If  the  weather 
becomes  dry  and/or  windy,  open  burning  will  be  canceled  until  conditions  improve. 

During  this  past  year,  we  were  fortunate  to  have  (4)  new  members  join  our  ranks  bringing  the  roster  to  23  very 
dedicated  individuals.  We  were  also  very  fortunate  to  have  two  members,  Captain  Tom  Sadowski  and  Firefighter 
Stephen  Gaughan  become  qualified  trainers  by  attending  the  Train-the-Trainer  program  put  on  by  the  Mass.  Fire 
Academy.  This  allows  us  to  train  all  of  our  personnel  in-house  and  meet  the  standards  set  by  the  Department  of 
Fire  Services  and  adopted  by  the  Hampshire  County  Chiefs  Association.  Members  are  also  encouraged  to 
participate  in  the  County  training  program  to  make  up  classes  they  might  of  missed  and  to  help  them  to  complete 
the  required  training  in  a  timely  manner.  The  department  continues  to  drill  every  Thursday,  with  two  sessions,  one 
during  the  day  for  those  that  work  evenings  and  one  in  the  evening  for  those  that  work  during  the  day.  We  have 
also  spend  some  time  training  on  weekends  to  be  able  to  get  through  some  of  the  longer  modules  in  the  training 
program,  which  is  a  big  commitment  from  all  involved. 

54 


We  continue  to  work  out  of  close  quarters  and  urge  the  citizens  to  stop  in  and  see  the  station.  Some  of  our 
Thursday  night  training  sessions  tends  to  become  crowded  with  as  many  as  1 8  of  us  cramped  into  our  small 
meeting  room.  The  Fire  Department  would  like  to  encourage  the  Town  to  build  a  Public  Safety  Complex  centrally 
located  that  all  the  emergency  services  could  utilize.  This  would  allow  us  the  opportunity  to  store  all  of  our 
equipment  in  one  location  and  help  us  serve  the  community  as  a  whole  better. 

I  would  like  to  thank  all  of  the  officers  and  members  of  the  Fire  Department  for  their  dedication  and  willingness 
to  help  their  community,  especially  since  9/1 1/01.  The  climate  has  changed  for  all  of  us  and  the  Fire  Department 
is  being  asked  to  be  better  prepared  for  Terrorist  activity  and  the  individuals  of  this  department  are  willing  to  take 
on  the  challenge.  The  men  and  woman  of  this  department  haven  proven  themselves  with  their  dedication  to  help 
their  fellow  citizens  and  it  has  been  a  pleasure  to  work  with  them  and  I  look  forward  to  continued  success  in  this 
next  year. 

I  also  would  like  to  thank  the  various  boards  and  departments  for  their  assistance  over  the  past  year.  Very 
importantly,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  citizens  of  Hatfield  for  their  support  of  the  department.

As  our  Community  continues  to  grow,  your  Police  Department  continues  to  respond  to  your  calls  in  the 
most  cost  effective  way  possible.  I  sure  that  many  of  you  feel  the  same  way  I  do  when  expressing  with 
me  our  appreciation  to  all  the  Officers.  We  are  fortunate  to  have  the  sincere  dedication  of  all  members  of 
this  Department  serving  us  in  our  Town.  I  would  also  like  expressing  my  appreciation  to  the  members  of 
the  other  Emergency  Services  for  their  unending  tireless  attention  to  their  duties. 

During  the  next  Town  meeting,  I  have  requested  $34,000  in  order  to  replace  the  four-wheel  drive 
cruiser.  The  present  four-wheel  cruiser  will  have  approx.  95,000  miles  in  it,  and  is  need  of  replacement. 
The  requested  vehicle  will  be  a  2002  Ford  Explorer,  and  will  be  purchased  through  the  State  vehicle 
contract.  I  request  your  support  in  approving  this  purchase. 

PROGRAMS 

D.A.R.E. 

This  year  the  Town  received  $7,000  in  the  form  of  a  Grant,  from  the  Governors'  Alliance  Against 
Drugs.  These  funds  again  were  used  to  support  various  activities  under  the  direction  of  Lt.  Weeks.  Greg 
again  enjoyed,  as  much  as  your  kids,  the  Summer  Camp  Program,  which  was  held  this  past  summer. 
Please  refer  to  his  report  on  the  Programs,  which  he  continues  to  provide  to  our  Town. 

COMMUNITY  POLICING 

I  applied  for  and  the  Town  received  $14,000  from  the  Massachusetts  Executive  Office  of  Public  Safety. 
Some  of  these  funds  were  used  to  support  the  TRIAD  Program,  under  the  direction  of  Lt.  Osley.  This 
program,  for  those  of  you  who  don't  know,  is  directed  to  the  elderly  residents  of  our  Community.  This 
program  tries  to  give  something  back  to  them,  who  have  help  make  this  Town  a  great  place  to  live.  The 
events,  which  these  funds  would  not  occur  without  the  direction,  of  some  very  special  people.  The 
people  I  am  referring  to  are  Jane  Betsold,  the  Director  of  the  Council  on  Aging,  and  the  S.A.L.T. 
(Seniors  and  Law  Enforcement  Together)  Council,  and  Tom  Osley  for  without  them  the  TRIAD 
Program  wouldn't  exist.  Please  refer  to  Tom's  report  about  the  exciting  programs  they  are  doing  for  our 
Town.  Another  one  of  the  Town  Department's,  which  these  funds  are  used  to  support,  is  our  Community 
Access  Channel  in  order  for  them  to  purchase  equipment.  Several  park  benches  were  also  purchased, 
along  with  community  support,  and  have  been  installed  in  the  Main  Street  Area,  and  at  both  Schools. 
Plaques  have  been  affixed  to  each  bench  indicating  where  the  funds  to  purchase  them  came  from.  The 
Towns'  Highway  Department  provided  the  concrete  bases  which  each  bench  sit  upon.  My  thanks  to 
those  who  provided  their  skills  in  this  endeavor.  I  wish  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  to  the  Families  and 
Organizations  for  their  generosity  in  giving  us  all  a  place  to  sit.  Another  portion  of  these  funds  were 
used  in  providing  air  conditioning  to  the  Dining  Room  in  the  Senior  Center.  This  room  is  used  for 
numerous  social  events  the  "Council"  puts  on,  not  to  forget  about  the  daily  meals  provided  to  our 
"seniors".  I  would  be  remiss  not  to  express  my  appreciation  to  a  real  advocate  of  the  elderly,  Mrs.  Mary 
Brennan.  My  thanks  to  her  and  her  devotion  to  her  position. 

BULLET  PROOF  VEST  GRANT: 

I  have  applied  for  and  the  Town  received  $3,350.00,  from  both  the  State  and  Federal  Governments,  in 
order  to  purchase  replacement  vests  for  various  Officers. 

BICYCLE  HELMETS: 

I  have  applied  for  50  bicycle  helmets  from  the  Governor's  Highway  Safety  program.  As  of  this  writing  I 
have  not  received  approval.  These  helmets  will  be  distributed  to  the  kids  of  our  Town,  with  the 
assistance  of  Lt.  Weeks.

HOUSE  NUMBERS: 

This  Department  along  with  the  Council  on  Aging  applied  and  received  funds  in  the  amount  of  $2000.00 
for  a  house-numbering  project,  which  will  begin  this  Spring.  These  signs  will  help  the  Emergency 
Services  locate  calls  for  assistance  within  our  Community.  This  does  not  remove  the  individual  property 
owners  from  their  responsibility  for  house  numbers  affixed  to  their  property,  which  are  visible  from  the 
street. 

WEB  ADDRESS: 


We  continue  to  be  reached  "on  line"  at  http//police.hatfield.ma. us.  Sgt.  Barstow  continues  to  maintain 
the  site,  and  we  have  received  numerous  compliments  from  individuals  and  other  Police  Agencies  alike.

Auxiliary  Program: 

Two  former  members,  namely  Mike  Hebert  and  Tim  Paciorek,  have  been  placed  into  the  ranks  of  the 
part  time  staff.  The  program  has  had  to  overcome  some  growing  pains,  but  with  the  staff  adjustments  I 
have  taken,  it  will  be  back  on  track.  The  staff  adjustment  was  that  Officers  Warner  and  Barstow  have 
been  designated  as  the  Field  Training  Officers,  and  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Sergeant.  With  this 
promotion  it  was  necessary  to  promote  Sgts.  Osley  and  Weeks  to  the  rank  of  Lieutenant.  Any  Town 
resident  interested  in  Police  work  are  encouraged  to  apply,  by  submitting  a  letter  of  interest  to  the 
Department,  in  joining  the  Auxiliary  Program. 

TRAINING: 

All  officers  continue  to  complete  all  training  required  by  statue,  and  suggested  by  Lt.  Weeks.  Several 
Officers  have  also  signed  up  for,  and  attended  specialized  training  offer  by  surrounding  Police  Agencies. 

In  closing,  I  wish  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  to  all  other  various  Departments  and  Boards  for  their 
continued  assistance  and  support.  I  wish  to  extend  my  personal  thanks  to  each  Officer  of  the  Police 
Department  for  their  efforts  in  making  Hatfield  a  safe  place  to  work  and  live.  I  want  each  of  you,  the 
residents  of  Hatfield,  to  realize  that  we  all  truly  appreciate  your  support  of  our  efforts  in  making  you  feel 
secure  in  your  homes,  and  places  of  business.  United  we  stand!!

CEMETERY  COMMISSION 

As  winter  approached,  we  were  fortunate  to  have  completed  the  repairs  of  the  Main  St.  Cemetery.  This  has  been 
an  idea  that  goes  back  to  at  least  the  early  1900's.  No  small  task  as  it  took  a  lot  of  time  and  effort. 

Having  the  assistance  of  the  Hampshire  County  Jail  was  not  only  a  great  help,  it  was  at  no  cost.  We  are  fortunate 
to  have  this  resource.  Also,  they  have  agreed  to  return  in  the  Spring  to  help  finish  the  other  locations. 

We  had  a  Stone  Conservator  do  repairs  to  the  many  broken  headstones  in  the  Main  St  cemetery.  With  all  luck,  we 
will  be  able  to  do  the  same  to  the  other  locations  as  we  unearth  the  many  hidden  and  buried  stones  that  time  has 
taken  a  toll  on. 

We  have  left  in  the  Town  Hall,  two  photo  albums.  One  is  of  all  the  broken  stones  that  needed  repair  before  this 
was  started  while  the  other  is  all  of  the  completed  work.  The  repairman  took  all  of  these  and  gave  them  to  us  to 
show  the  effort  done.  It  seems  to  be  a  very  professional  job  and  we  as  a  town  should  be  pleased  with  the  outcome. 
After  all,  these  stones  represent  the  forebears  of  our  Town. 

The  mapping  is  well  underway  and  should  be  quite  a  help  for  the  town  secretaries  and  families  when  looking  up 
sites.  Also,  the  map  of  the  Main  St  cemetery  should  be  ready  this  year  to  go  onto  the  town  website  as  Bob  Betsold 
is  working  on  this  (no  small  task).The  next  step  will  be  to  take  digital  photos  and  add  them  to  the  map  site  online. 

We  would  like  to  thank  Cheryl  Nicholas  for  her  help  with  the  Bradstreet  Cemetery.  There  is  a  lot  of  work  to  be 
done  there  and  she  has  done  so  much  to  move  this  along. 

Sincerely, 

Joe  Lavallee,  Chair.

BOARD  OF  HEALTH 

To  The  Residents  of  Hatfield, 

The  local  Board  of  Health  derive  their  authority  primarily  through  explicit  and  specific  delegation  of  power  from 
the  State  legislature  and  may  also  act  without  delegation  of  authority  from  the  state  under  local  ordinances  or  by- 
laws. There  are  35 1  local  health  departments  in  the  state  and  each  serves  the  purpose  of  preserving  and  protecting 
the  health  and  promoting  health  status  improvement  for  all,  preventing  illness,  injury  and  disability  and  improving 
the  health  status  while  being  cost  effective. 

The  highlights  for  the  Hatfield  Board  of  Health  this  year  were  many.  We  attended  a  conference  on  West  Nile 
Virus,  participated  in  the  Hatfield  Disaster  Response  Committee,  attended  a  state  meeting  regarding  bio-terrorism 
and  anthrax  conducted  inspections  of  food  service  facilities  which  included  churches  this  year,  held  a  local 
hearing  on  the  issue  of  a  no  smoking  ban  in  Hatfield,  witnessed  numerous  perc  tests  and  repairs  disseminated 
health  information  as  necessary  and  responded  to  many  phone  calls  and  complaints  over  the  course  of  the  year. 

We  take  the  duties  that  we  are  charged  with  seriously  and  hope  that  we  have  served  Hatfield  to  the  best  of  our 
abilities.  We  invite  all  citizens  to  attend  our  meetings  held  on  the  first  and  third  Tuesday  of  the  month  at  9:30 
a.m.  in  Memorial  Town  Hall,  Board  of  Health  Office.  Our  phone  number  is  247-0497.

HISTORICAL  COMMISSION 


To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield: 


This  year,  through  the  efforts  of  many,  many  people  we  were  able  to  open  the  Hatfield  Farm  Museum  and 
Educational  Center  on  June  10,  2001 .  On  that  beautiful  day,  as  we  gathered,  we  were  greeted  with  musical 
selections  played  by  the  Smith  Academy  Marching  Band  under  the  direction  of  Director,  Kenneth  Longstreeth. 

About  150  people  gathered  to  hear  speeches  by: 

•  Father  Robert  Coonan,  pastor  of  St.  Joseph's  and  Holy  Trinity  RC  churches,  gave  the  invocation. 

•  Elsa  Fitzgerald,  Assistant  Director  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Commission  who  offered  warm  words  of 
congratulations. 

•  Bonnie  Parsons,  Senior  Planner  for  the  Pioneer  Valley  Planning  Commission  who  detailed  the  facts  about  the 
tobacco  shed  itself. 

•  Patrick  Gaughan,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Selectmen  who  spoke  about  the  Farm  Museum  as  being  one  step 
in  fulfilling  the  goals  of  the  Master  Plan. 

•  Rita  Prew,  President  of  the  Hatfield  Historical  Society  expressed  her  pleasure  in  knowing  that  our  old  and 
antique  farm  tools  and  machinery  are  now  gathered  under  one  roof  and  able  to  be  on  exhibit. 

•  Mary  Lou  Cutter,  Chairman  of  the  Hatfield  Historical  Commission  took  this  opportunity  to  thank  everyone 
who  had  worked  and  planned  for  that  day.  Mrs.  Cutter  was  later  appointed  as  curator  of  the  new  facility. 

•  A  letter  of  encouragement  and  congratulations  from  former  Hatfield  resident,  Ambassador  Robert  J.  Ryan 
was  read  by  Master  of  Ceremonies,  George  Ashley. 

Then  the  museum  was  open  for  viewing  for  a  couple  of  hours.  Docents  were  positioned  throughout  the  museum 
to  talk  about  the  exhibits  as  people  toured. 

Since  that  date  the  Farm  Museum  was  open  from  2-4  pm  on  Sunday  afternoons  through  the  end  of  October. 
These  people  volunteered  to  do  museum  duty: 


Martha  Schurch  and  Thomas  Carroll 

Rita  Prew 

Patricia  Douglas  and  Nancy  Polhemus 

Josephine  &  Larry  Grose 

Francis  &  Eleanor  Godin

We  also  opened  several  times  upon  special  requests:  C&S  Picnic,  Fire  Department  Parade,  a  family  reunion  and 
school  groups. 

Many  people  were  responsible  for  setting  up  the  exhibits,  cataloguing,  cleaning  both  objects  and  the  barn,  and 

helped  move  items  to  the  museum: 

Mary  Lou,  Bob,  David,  Adam,  Jennifer,

The  work  of  these  people  was  so  important  in  the  progress  of  setting  up  the  museum  that  I  just  had  to  list 
everyone  to  say  thanks. 

People  who  donated  significant  numbers  of  items  to  the  museum  this  year  deserve  recognition  as  well: 

Josephine  &  Larry  Grose  John  Pease 

Mark  &  Michelle  Aldrich  Helen  Burda 

Thomas  &  Geraldine  Smith  John  Saydowski 

We  wish  to  say  thanks  to  them  for  all  the  items  they  donated,  and  also  the  many  others  who  were  so  generous  in 
giving  us  important  pieces  representing  the  history  of  Hatfield  agriculture  and  related  occupations. 

Donated  were  signs  that  are  so  important  in  recognizing  Hatfield's  vast  agricultural  history: 

Richard  Belden  donated  the  North  Hatfield  Post  Office  sign. 

Edward  Lesko  gave  the  William  H.  Dickinson  sign  from  that  tobacco  sorting 

shop.  Ed  also  gave  us  the  elevator  from  that  establishment  as  well. 

Thomas  Smith  donated  the  Meyer  &  Mendelsohn  sign  from  Tom's  great 

grandfather,  T.A.  Nolan's  sorting  shop.  The  Cutter  family  donated  the  Cutter's  Hotel  sign. 
Now  one  of  our  many  goals  has  been  reached,  that  of  finding  more  museum  space  for  our  agricultural  related 
collection.  We  are  still  working  to  locate  more  space  for  our  household  and  arts  collection. 

In  September  the  Historical  Society  invited  owners  of  antique  &  classical  cars  to  come  and  show  them  off  on  a 
lovely  Sunday  afternoon.  Owners  of  43  cars  showed  up.  People  came  to  not  only  inspect  these  beautiful  cars,  but 
80-90  people  toured  the  Historical  Museum  and  the  Farm  Museum. 

All  that  has  been  accomplished  in  the  Farm  Museum  could  not  have  been  done  without  the  encouragement  and 
financial  support  from  the  Hatfield  Historical  Society.  Now  that  this  museum  is  a  reality,  one  of  our  many  goals 
as  Historical  Commissioners  has  been  realized,  but  we  are  still  challenged  with  locating  more  museum  space  for 
our  Historical  Museum  now  housed  m  the  Dickinson  Memorial  Hall. 

On  September  24,  Ambassador  Robert  Ryan  came  from  Florida  to  visit  the  Farm  Museum  as  well  as  the  Historic 
Museum.  As  a  former  Hatfield  resident,  Mr.  Ryan  has  been  a  constant  supporter  of  preserving  Hatfield  history.  I 
am  pleased  to  report  that  he  had  many  positive  comments  about  our  work. 

We  wish  to  thank  both  Thomas  Carroll  and  Bob  Donaldson  for  taking  pictures  during  the  opening  of  the  Farm 
Museum.  We  must  also  acknowledge  the  tremendous  effort  that  George  Ashley  made  in  sending  letters  of 
invitation  to  many  people  and  groups,  and  designing  advertisements  announcing  the  event.  George  also  designed 
the  Farm  Museum  flyer.  Thanks  also  go  to  Larry  Grose  who  did  the  art  work  on  that  flyer. 

What's  the  plan  for  2002?  We  want  to  complete  putting  up  batten  boards  in  the  Farm  Museum.  Because  we  are 
presently  housing  household  items  in  this  museum,  we  felt  it  was  important  to  put  up  the  batten  boards  now  to 
protect  our  collection  from  dirt,  rain  and  snow.  The  job  is  half  done  and  we  have  many  people  to  thank  for  this 
work:  Edward  Lesko  and  Alvin  Rejniak,  Bill  Parmeter,  Ruth  &  Charlie  Kellogg,  George  Ashley,  Jeff  Smith,  and 
for  Bob  &  Mary  Lou  Cutter  for  trucking  these  boards  from  Williamsburg.  Most  of  all  we  wish  to  thank  the 
Lashway  Logging  Corp.  of  Williamsburg  for  donating  batten  boards  for  this  project. 

In  an  effort  to  economize,  we  have  had  the  electricity  shut  off  for  the  winter.  The  Farm  Museum  is  truly  a 
seasonal  museum.  We  will  open  again  in  April. 

All  of  the  items  in  the  Farm  Museum  are  tagged  and  inventoried.  On  November  6th  we  hired  Catherine  Rude 
(Sena  Auction  Service)  to  appraise  the  items  in  the  museum. 

We  are  still  concerned  about  the  problems  in  the  roof  of  the  Dickinson  building.  It  is  leaking  and  there  is 
evidence  of  carpenter  ants  in  the  roof.  We  have  met  with  the  Library  Trustees  and  we  all  agree  that  the  roof  must 
be  repaired  soon.

Historic  Elm  Street  District  has  been  accepted  on  the  National  Register  of  Historic  Places. 

Bonnie  Parsons,  Pioneer  Valley  Planning  Commission,  has  begun  work  on  the  West  Hatfield  Historic  District. 

This  year  George  Ashley  attended  the  Franklin  County  Regional  meeting  held  in  Greenfield.  The  topic  for 
discussion  was  the  Community  Preservation  Act. 

In  May,  George  Ashley,  Cory  Bardwell  and  Mary  Lou  Cutter  attended  a  Bay  State  Historical  League  workshop 
at  Old  Sturbridge  involving  the  care  and  identification  of  household  metal  utensils  and  farm  tools. 

For  improvements  on  their  homes  the  Historic  Preservation  Awards  this  year  were  given  to:  Dr.  Mark  &  Marlene 
Tanny,  55  Main  Street  (Dr.  Bonneville's  House)  and  Timothy  &  Carey  O'Brien,  10  Prospect  Street. 
Congratulations!  We  have  Martha  Schurch  to  thank  for  all  of  the  preparations  she  did  to  make  this  award 
presentation  possible. 

Tom  Prew  has  been  working  to  have  a  permanent  sign  built  for  the  Farm  Museum.  We  hope  to  have  it  in  place  in 
the  spring. 

Thomas  Carroll  finished  designing  an  informational  letter  to  be  given  out  by  the  Building  Inspector  to  people  who 
may  be  purchasing  an  older  home  in  Hatfield.  The  letter  informs  buyers  that  we  might  have  information  that 
would  be  helpful  in  their  restoration  project  in  a  limited  capacity. 

Our  Commission  wishes  to  recognize  the  help  the  Town  Crew  was  in  putting  up  the  last  three  date  signs  on  the 
municipal  buildings.  They  also  moved  the  business  records  of  the  Porter  McLeod  Machine  Shop  from  Richard 
Reccia's  storage  building  to  the  Old  Town  Barns  for  temporary  storage.  We  must  thank  Mr.  Reccia  for  donating 
these  records  as  well. 

We  must  thank  Town  Administrator,  Bill  Szych  for  his  valuable  advice  throughout  the  year. 

We  are  happy  to  see  work  being  done  to  improve  the  conditions  of  our  town  cemeteries  by  the  Cemetery 
Commissioners... restoring  stones,  and  leveling  the  grounds. 

Town  Clerk,  Louise  Slysz  is  working  to  gather  details  about  the  Boston  Post  Gold  Cane.  She  is  trying  to  locate 
the  names  of  all  the  people  who  have  received  this  honor  of  being  the  eldest  person  in  town,  a  photograph  of  that 
person  and  some  information  about  his  or  her  life.  This  will  be  interesting  history  for  us  to  add  to  our  files.  A 
duplicate  cane  will  be  issued  to  our  next  recipient.  The  plan  is  to  put  the  original  cane  into  retirement  in  a  glass 
case  in  the  Town  Hall.  Our  congratulations  go  to  Viola  Kleasner,  age  99  for  being  the  latest  holder  of  the  Gold 
Cane. 

We  are  pleased  to  see  the  cosmetic  improvements  both  inside  and  outside  of  Memorial  Town  Hall. 

On  June  12  this  Commission  met  with  members  of  the  Elementary  School  Building  Committee  and  David  Owens, 
the  architect  for  the  Mount  Vernon  Group.  We  had  suggestions  to  offer. 

On  November  14  we  met  with  Eric  Johnson,  Massachusetts  Historical  Commission  about  archeological  sites  in 
our  town. 

It  was  necessary  for  us  to  purchase  a  new  filing  cabinet  this  year. 

We  wish  to  note  that  Mr.  Alan  Wolejko  and  Mr.  Richard  Sadowski,  Smith  Academy  teachers  held  the  Senior 
Walk  again  on  December  4th.  This  is  to  honor  the  memory  of  Sophia  Smith,  a  Hatfield  resident  who  did  so  much 
to  promote  education  of  women.  With  Mary  Lou  Cutter  as  guide,  they  toured  the  Main  Street  sites,  which 
illustrate  some  of  the  life  of  this  grand  lady.

Again  we  end  a  very  busy  and  productive  year.  We  wish  to  thank  the  many  townspeople  who  have  supported  our 
work  in  promoting  and  preserving  the  history  of  our  town.

CONSERVATION  COMMISSION 


To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield: 


During  2001,  the  Conservation  Commission  held  10  public  meetings,  including  1 1  public  hearings  responding  to 
21  applications  for  activities  in  or  near  wetlands.  These  applications  dealt  with  the  construction  of  1 1  single 
family  homes,  the  expansion  of  Brockway  Smith  (presently  under  construction),  the  reconstruction  of  Breor 
Elementary  School,  tree  clearing  on  1-9 1 ,  herbicide  use  along  the  B&M  railroad  right-of-way,  the  installation  of  a 
gauging  station  on  the  Mill  River,  and  septic  system  improvements.  All  of  the  applications  were  approved,  but 
special  conditions  or  modifications  were  required  to  protect  the  wetland  resources  of  Hatfield.  Many  additional 
actions  were  reviewed  for  various  parties  and  it  was  determined  that  wetlands  resources  regulated  by  the 
Commission  were  not  in  immediate  proximity  and/or  that  no  permit  was  required. 

The  Commission  also  responded  to  several  enforcement  situations  regarding  fill  in  wetlands  or  floodplain  and 
unauthorized  activities  within  wetlands  and  buffer  zones.  One  enforcement  order  was  issued,  to  allow  finalization 
of  work  at  an  industrial  site  to  complete  site  drainage  improvements.  Two  other  enforcement  actions  from  prior 
years  were  finalized.  No  fines  were  issued.  The  Commission  considered  one  request  for  Chapter  61 A  release  and 
the  Commission  elected  to  not  recommend  acquisition  of  this  parcel  to  the  Board  of  Selectmen. 

The  Commission  additionally  provided  technical  support  to  several  other  Town  Boards.  The  Commission  was  active 
during  2001  on  the  Town's  Master  Plan  Committee  and  provided  technical  comment  and  suggestions  on  natural 
resource  related  proposed  bylaw  changes.  The  Commission  also  participated  with  the  Greater  Mill  River  Coalition 
project  within  the  Towns  of  Hatfield,  Whately,  Deerfield,  and  Conway  on  the  review  of  activities  supported  by  that 
group  and  in  developing  an  application  for  State  supported  land  acquisition.  The  Commission  and  Pioneer  Valley 
Planning  Commission  (PVPC)  continued  work  on  a  DEP  grant  program  to  develop  a  comprehensive  watershed  plan 
for  the  Hatfield  drinking  water  reservoir,  which  will  be  completed  in  2002.  The  Commission  also  is  initiating  an 
update  of  the  Town's  Open  Space  Plan  in  with  the  contractual  support  of  PVPC. 

The  wetland  and  floodplain  resources  in  Hatfield  are  extensive  and  generally  of  extremely  high  quality.  These  areas 
are  critical  to  flood  control,  drinking  water  supply,  surface  water  quality,  and  wildlife  and  aquatic  habitat.  The 
Commission  wishes  to  thank  the  citizens  of  Hatfield  for  their  support  during  the  year  and  compliance  with  the 
regulations  of  the  Wetlands  Protection  Act  and  Hatfield's  Wetland  Bylaws.  The  Town  residents  and  businesses  are 
encouraged  to  contact  the  Commission  if  they  have  any  questions  regarding  their  existing  or  proposed  actions  in 
proximity  to  wetland  resource  areas.

SCHOOL  DEPARTMENT 

To  the  Hatfield  Residents: 

The  School  Committee  is  comprised  of  five  representatives  elected  to  three-year  terms.  In  May,  Mrs.  Abigail 
Roberts  was  reelected  to  a  new  three-year  term  and  Mr.  Brian  Moriarty  was  elected  chair  of  the  group.  Other 
Committee  members  include:  Mr.  Stanley  Pitchko,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Lafond  and  Mr.  Mark  Vachula.  In  a  move 
to  more  actively  involve  the  community  and  the  Committee  in  the  schools'  ongoing  operations,  regular  monthly 
Committee  meetings  were  reinstituted  in  late  summer. 

In  the  spring,  the  School  Committee  joined  with  a  specially  appointed  Town  Selection  Committee  to  recruit  and 
hire  a  new  school  superintendent.  After  an  extensive  recruitment  and  interview  process,  I  was  chosen  as  your  new 
school  superintendent.  With  29  years  in  the  field  of  education  (in  Oregon!),  and  25  in  the  administration  of  small 
school  districts,  I  am  sure  that  Hatfield  residents  will  find  me  committed  to  providing  the  highest  quality 
education  for  its  children.  With  just  over  six  months  on  the  job,  it's  readily  apparent  to  me  that  the  community  of 
Hatfield  holds  the  education  of  its  youth  in  the  highest  regard. 

Our  volunteer  School  Building  Committee,  with  the  support  and  expertise  of  the  Mt.  Vernon  Group  of  Architects, 
has  devoted  literally  hundreds  of  hours  of  planning  and  preparation  to  develop  plans  for  our  new  53,000  square 
foot  Breor  Elementary  School.  As  of  this  writing,  we're  poised  to  solicit  and  receive  bids  for  the  project.  We 
look  forward  to  breaking  ground  in  March  of  2002  and  anticipate  substantial  completion  of  the  job  by  July  2003. 

To  provide  personnel  with  direction  and  focus  for  the  new  school  year,  the  School  Committee  identified  its  2001- 
2002  District  Goals: 

•  Hatfield  Schools  will  continue  working  to  align  district  curriculum  with  the  State  Curriculum 
frameworks. 

•  Hatfield  Schools  will  provide  ongoing  inservice  to  faculty  and  staff  that  would  eventually  led  to 
curriculum-based  initiatives  addressing  areas  of  diversity,  respect,  dignity  and  acceptance  of  human 
diversity. 

•  Hatfield  Schools  will  make  a  concerted  effort  to  effectively  address  issues  related  to  the  physical  plant 
and  related  maintenance  issues. 

•  The  School  Councils  and  Principals  will  work  to  provide  more  detail  in  their  School  Improvement  Plans. 

•  The  administration  will  strive  to  provide  School  Committee  members  with  timely  information  on  key 
issues. 


In  the  fall,  we  were  genuinely  pleased  to  receive  word  that  100%  of  our  tenth  graders  (Class  of  2003)  passed  the 
M.C.A.S.  Tests  in  English  and  Mathematics,  a  new  graduation  requirement  for  all  Massachusetts  students.  We 
were  but  one  of  two  high  schools  in  the  state  with  100%  of  our  students  passing  these  exams  on  the  first  try. 

Finally,  we  wish  to  welcome  several  new  faculty  members  hired  to  work  with  our  youth  in  Hatfield  Schools. 
These  fresh  faces  have  brought  enthusiasm  and  energy  to  an  excellent  school  system: 

•  Meredith  Bertrand  ~  6th  Grade  *  John  Higuera  -  5th  Grade 

•  Lorraine  Liantonio  -  Reading  Specialist  *  Kathy  Tobin  -  4th  Grade 

•  Deanna  Brooks  -  Counselor  *  Toby  Coffin  -  Physical  Education 

•  Patricia  Daughtry  -  Psychologist  *  Evelyn  Hawley  --  Physics  &  Calculus 

•  Steve  Hawley  -  Computer  Technology      *  Patricia  Susen  -  Special  Education  Director 

•  Danny  VanDalsen  -  Mathematics 

The  community  of  Hatfield  has  succeeded  in  providing  its  youth  a  superior  educational  system  in  a  safe,  secure 
environment  ...  no  small  feat  in  today's  society.  I  hope  you  know  that  I  am  sincerely  grateful  to  have  been 
selected  to  work  with  such  wonderful  students  and  dedicated  professionals.  It's  a  treat. 

Sincerely, 

Daniel  A.  Barker 

Superintendent  of  Schools  64 


CABLE  ADVISORY  COMMISSION 

To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield: 

The  Cable  Advisory  Committee  (CAC)  is  responsible  for  the  administration  of  Hatfield  Community  Access 
Television  (HCTV)  -  cable  channel  15.  The  HCTV  station  and  studio  are  located  at  Smith  Academy.  The 
facilities  are  used  by  the  school  and  are  also  available  to  the  entire  Hatfield  community. 

Station  manager  John  Novak  has  produced  nearly  all  of  the  programming  originated  by  HCTV.  Most  of  this  has 
been  the  broadcasting  of  public  meetings  such  as  the  Board  of  Selectmen  and  the  School  Committee  meetings. 

All  of  the  camera  operators  for  televised  public  meetings  are  volunteers,  many  of  them  currently  students  at  Smith 
Academy.  Operating  the  cameras  requires  time  and  skill.  HCTV  and  the  Town  of  Hatfield  are  indebted  to  these 
citizens  for  the  contribution  they  have  made  to  our  community  as  camera  operators:  Robert  Betsold,  Daniel 
Englehardt,  Joseph  Hudock,  Steven  Savard,  William  Shea,  and  Chad  Widelo. 

During  the  past  year,  HCTV  has  improved  its  editing  system  and  increased  its  broadcasting  capacity  through  the 
purchase  of  additional  equipment.  A  major  accomplishment,  completed  in  2001,  was  the  wiring  of  the  Smith 
Academy  library  with  audio  and  video  connections  to  the  HCTV  broadcast  control  room. 

We  are  happy  to  report  use  of  the  HCTV  Bulletin  Board  has  increased  significantly.  The  HCTV  bulletin  board 
broadcasts  daily  at  7:00  am,  1:00  pm,  6:00  pm,  and  11:00  pm.  Each  showing  lasts  for  30  minutes.  All  town 
residents  and  organizations  may  use  the  bulletin  board  to  communicate  issues  of  public,  non-commercial  interest. 
To  get  your  message  on  the  bulletin  board,  a  form  must  be  filled  out  and  submitted  to  HCTV.  Forms  are  available 
at  Memorial  Town  Hall,  and  there  is  a  CAC  mailbox  at  that  same  location. 

Station  Manager  John  Novak  will  provide  training  to  any  Hatfield  residents  who  are  interested  in  video  camera 
operation,  using  the  editing  system,  creating  a  video  for  broadcast  on  HCTV,  and  general  video  production 
techniques.  We  encourage  you  to  make  use  of  the  HCTV  facilities;  they  belong  to  you,  citizens  of  Hatfield.

PROPERTY  &  SPACE  UTILIZATION  COMMITTEE 

To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield: 

We  are  into  our  third  year  of  examining  all  of  the  municipal  buildings,  gathering  lists  of  repairs,  what  needs 
regular  maintenance,  what  must  be  done  to  bring  each  up  to  ADA  code,  and  then  prioritizing  the  projects.  We 
met  1 1  times  with  our  consultant,  Don  Hafner  of  Architects,  Inc.  We  continue  to  explore  a  variety  of  options  in 
trying  to  house  more  departments  under  one  roof  at  the  Town  Hall  in  an  effort  to  economize. 

We  considered  the  possibility  of  using  part  of  the  present  elementary  school  for  some  of  our  departments  once  the 
school  is  vacated.  One  of  our  members  met  with  the  Historical  Society  officers,  and  the  Library  Trustees  only  to 
learn  that  the  school  would  not  fill  their  needs. 

Our  immediate  concern  is  getting  a  new  roof  on  the  Dickinson  Memorial  Hall.  The  roof  leaks  around  the  skylight 
and  the  north  chimney,  and  we  believe  that  there  are  carpenter  ants  housed  in  this  damp  ceiling.  Something  must 
be  done  soon.  However,  there  is  no  immediate  danger  to  people  using  the  library  and  the  museum. 

Memorial  Town  Hall  has  been  given  a  grand  face  lift.  David  Banas  was  hired  to  paint  the  doors,  windows, 
cupola,  and  all  of  the  outside  trim  on  the  building.  With  that  improvement,  and  the  cutting  down  of  the  trees  in 
front  of  the  building,  the  outside  appearance  of  this  71 -year-old  structure  now  has  a  bright,  restored  look.  Inside 

65 


the  building  the  walls  have  been  scraped  clean  of  the  old  wallpaper,  and  fresh  paint  applied  by  inmates  from  the 

Hampshire  County  House  of  Corrections.  It  too  has  a  clean,  cared  for  appearance. 

It  is  our  strong  recommendation  that  the  town  not  let  its  buildings  become  so  neglected. 

We  hope  to  have  the  final  report  in  our  hands  by  the  end  of  this  year.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PUBLIC  WORKS 
DIRECTOR 


Dear  Residents: 


I  am  pleased  to  report  to  you  regarding  the  work  of  the  DPW  this  past  year  and  what  we  hope  to  do  this  year.  Last 
year  we  accomplished  the  following: 

1 .  The  reclamation  and  paving  of  approximately  4700  feet  of  Prospect  Street,  beginning  at  Elm  Street  and 
ending  at  the  Mill  River  Bridge. 

2.  The  paving  of  approximately  4200  feet  of  Linseed  Road,  beginning  at  Old  Stage  Road  and  ending  about 
500  feet  short  of  Rocks  Road. 

3.  The  continuation  of  the  Meter  Installation  Program.  This  past  year,  we  installed  156  water  meters  on 
services  that  were  previously  unmetered.  Most  of  the  installations  were  done  on  Elm  Street,  Elm  Court, 
Plain  Road,  Dwight  Street,  and  Chestnut  Street. 

4.  The  cleaning  and  lining  of  about  3200  feet  of  8-inch  sewer  main  at  Colonial  Acres.  Also,  12  manholes  in 
the  neighborhood  were  sealed  and  some  inverts  were  rebuilt.  The  sewer  services  were  inspected  and  we 
determined  that  many  of  the  48  houses  in  the  neighborhood  have  footing  drains  attached.  A  plan  is  being 
developed  to  address  this  problem. 

5.  The  installation  of  about  1 100  feet  of  10-inch  water  main  at  the  southern  end  of  Plain  Road. 

6.  The  installation  of  about  260  feet  of  8-inch  water  main  at  the  southern  end  of  Straits  Road. 

This  year  my  goals  for  the  DPW  are  the  following: 

1.  The  start  of  construction  of  the  drainage  and  road  improvements  at  Bridge  Street  and  Gore  Avenue. 
Getting  this  project  off  the  ground  has  been  one  of  the  bigger  challenges  I  have  faced  since  I  have  been 
your  DPW  Director.  I  think  some  progress  has  been  made  and  I  hope  to  get  the  project  started  this  year. 

2.  The  continuation  of  the  Meter  Installation  Program. 

3.  The  removal  of  footing  drains  from  the  sewer  services  at  Colonial  Acres  to  alleviate  the  inflow  problem. 

4.  The  filing  of  CD  AG  and  Ready  Resource  Fund  applications  to  provide  funding  for  Phase  1  of  the  Route 
5/10  Sewer  Project.  The  goal  is  to  have  a  funding  plan  in  place  so  that  this  project  can  be  placed  on  the 
2002  Town  Meeting  Warrant. 

5.  The  installation  of  about  1200  feet  of  drainage  pipe  at  North  Hatfield  Road.  Due  to  the  unforeseen  water 
main  work  and  the  fact  that  two  employees  were  out  on  work-related  injuries  for  a  considerable  amount 
of  time,  this  project  was  not  done  this  past  year.  I  plan  to  do  it  this  year.  After  the  work  is  completed, 
North  Hatfield  Road  will  be  reclaimed  and  paved  from  C  &  S  to  Straits  Road. 

I  would  like  to  thank  Bill  Young,  Frank  Motyka,  Jim  Szynal,  Ed  Wroblewski,  Brian  McGrath,  Sonny 
Wendlowski,  Jim  Lavallee,  Jim  Klepacki,  Ed  Kempisty,  Bill  Podmayer,  and  the  Transfer  Station  subs  for  their 
efforts  this  past  year.  It  has  become  very  clear  to  me  that  these  men  are  extremely  dedicated  to  the  Town  and  their 
jobs.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  the  Board  of  Selectmen  and  everyone  at  Town  Hall.  It  is  a  pleasure  working  for 
and  with  these  people.  Finally,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  residents  of  Hatfield  for  allowing  me  the  continuing 
privilege  of  serving  as  your  DPW  Director. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Jim  Reidy 
DPW  Director

HIGHWAY  DIVISION 

Mother  Nature  has  been  real  nice  to  us  so  far  this  Fall  and  Winter.  The  good  weather  has  enabled  us  to  continue 
our  roadside  trimming.  We  have  trimmed  Brook  Hollow,  South  Street,  Main  Street,  Mt.  Road,  Old  Stage  Road 
and  Plain  Road.  The  roads  are  looking  better,  but  this  continues  to  be  an  on  going  project. 

Some  of  the  projects  completed  this  year  are  the  reclaiming  and  paving  of  the  south  end  of  Prospect  Street,  the 
overlay  of  a  large  section  of  Linseed  Road,  the  replacement  of  culverts  on  Linseed  Road  and  Main  Street,  along 
with  all  our  usual  maintenance  projects. 

Unfortunately  due  to  injuries  we  were  unable  to  do  the  drainage  and  reconstruction  of  the  south  end  of  North 
Hatfield  Road.  We  should  be  back  to  full  strength  by  the  Spring  and  this  project  will  have  top  priority. 

My  thanks  go  out  to  all  whom  have  assisted  the  Highway  Dept.  in  any  way  and  made  our  jobs  easier. 

Respectfully; 

Bill  Young 

Highway  Superintendent 


TREE  DIVISION 

This  year  the  number  of  tree  removals  is  down  which  I  believe  is  a  good  sign.  We  had  to  remove  fourteen  trees 
this  year,  down  from  thirty-four  last  year.  We  also  trimmed  twenty-eight  large  trees,  mostly  Maples.  Twenty- 
seven  stumps  were  ground,  loamed  and  seeded,  twelve  from  this  year  and  fifteen  left  over  from  last  year. 

Our  replanting  program  continues  with  a  Spring  and  Fall  planting.  Anyone  with  questions  or  concerns  about  trees 
can  call  me  at  247-5646  or  stop  in  at  10  Straits  Road. 

Respectfully; 
Bill  Young 
Tree  Warden 


VEHICLE  MAINTENANCE  DIVISION 


During  the  calendar  year  2001,  the  Vehicle  Maintenance  Division  completed  many  projects  including  the  total 
overhaul  of  a  Highway  Division  truck  and  sander.  Two  Highway  Division  plows  were  repaired,  sandblasted  and 
painted  to  get  them  ready  for  the  upcoming  winter.  I  also  fabricated  a  new  quick  dump  valve  and  chute  for  the  Fire 
Department's  tanker  truck.  The  old  one  had  rotted  out  and  was  leaking  water.  I  have  many  of  the  same  type  of 
projects  planned  for  the  upcoming  year,  as  well  as  taking  care  of  the  regular  maintenance  needs  of  all  of  the 
Town's  vehicles  and  equipment. 

Lastly  I  would  like  to  thank  everyone  for  their  support  and  cooperation  over  the  past  year.

James  M  Szynal  Jr.

WASTEWATER  DIVISION 

Efforts  were  begun  this  past  year  to  remove  sources  of  ground  water  into  the  sewer  collection  system.  Cracks  and 
open  joints  in  the  Primrose  Path  and  Pleasant  View  Drive  sewer  pipeline  were  sealed  and  twelve  manholes  were 
made  watertight.  A  study  of  the  houses  in  this  area  indicated  that  a  significant  number  have  footing  drains 
connected  to  the  sewer  collection  system.  Work  will  begin  this  year  to  remove  these  connections. 

The  collection  system  will  be  continually  looked  at  with  the  goal  of  identifying  and  eliminating  all  ground  water 
from  the  system. 

The  Wastewater  Treatment  Facility  processed  70,606,000  gallons  of  sewage  and  167,175  gallons  of  septage  last 
year.  Two  Hundred  and  twenty  tons  of  sludge  were  produced  and  disposed  of  at  the  Northampton  Sanitary 
Landfill. 

We  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  the  DPW  Departments,  town  hall  staff,  and  town  boards  for  their 
continued  support. 

Respectively  Submitted, 
Frank  Motyka 
Wastewater  Superintendent 


WATER  DIVISION 
Drinking  Water  Report 

The  Hatfield  Water  Department  supplied  154,977,500  gallons  of  drinking  water  to  the  town  last  year.  The 
Running  Gutter  Brook  Reservoir  supplied  92,035,600  gallons  with  an  additional  37,020,600  gallons  from  the 
Omasta  Well  and  32,239,300  gallons  from  The  West  Hatfield  Well. 

The  sand  filters  at  the  Water  Filtration  Facility  were  cleaned  last  spring  by  the  DPW.  The  Facility  is  in  its  fifth  year 
of  operation  and  continues  to  provide  excellent  drinking  water. 

This  is  the  second  year  of  The  Water  Meter  Installation  Program,  an  effort  to  meter  the  entire  town.  One  Hundred 
Fifty  Six  meters  were  installed  as  a  result  of  this  program  last  year.  An  additional  23  meters  were  installed  at 
resident's  request  and  new  construction.  Anyone  wishing  to  install  a  water  meter  should  contact  the  Town  Hall. 

Last  summer  the  Water  Department  installed  1200  feet  of  water  main  on  Plain  Road  and  260  feet  on  Straits  Road. 
These  main  extensions  were  installed  to  supply  drinking  water  to  new  houses. 

Annually  a  Drinking  Water  Quality  Report  is  prepared  for  Town  residents  and  a  copy  of  this  report  may  be 
obtained  at  the  Town  Hall. 

Continued  dry  weather  in  the  latter  part  of  2001  into  2002  has  greatly  diminished  water  supplies  in  our  area. 
Conservation  and  protection  of  this  valuable  resource  by  Town  residents  is  greatly  appreciated.

HATFIELD  COUNCIL  ON  AGING 


To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield; 

We  would  like  to  begin  by  thanking  the  Community  for  the  support  of  our  Nutrition  Program  this  past  year.  Due 
to  cuts  in  state  and  federal  funding  our  Congregate  and  Home  Delivered  Meals  Program  was  at  risk  of  being  cut, 
but  again  we  are  able  to  continue  to  offer  this  much  needed  program  in  our  community.  We  would  also  like  to 
express  our  sincere  appreciation  to  the  following,  the  Hatfield  Book  Club;  the  Smith  Academy  Service  Club  & 
Honor  Society,  for  their  assistance  with  our  monthly  food  distribution  and  Senior  Dinner;  the  Smith  Academy 
Chamber  Singers;  Cub  Scout  Pack  #104,  for  the  beautiful  picnic  table  they  made  and  donated  to  the  Town  Hall; 
Joyce  Rankin;  Police  Chief  David  Hurley  and  Sgt.  Tom  Osley  for  their  assistance  and  support  of  the  TRIAD 
Program;  Frank  Bonk,  for  the  great  job  he  does  keeping  our  facilities  so  clean.  Jim  Szynal,  for  keeping  our  vans 
running  smoothly;  the  Selectmen,  Bill  Szych,  other  Town  Departments,  and  also  the  Town  Hall  staff  for  all  of 
their  support  and  assistance  throughout  the  year.  We  would  also  like  to  thank  all  the  individuals  who  made 
donations  to  our  department,  whether  in  memory  of  loved  ones,  medical  equipment  or  books  and  magazines. 
Last  but  not  least,  we  would  like  to  thank  our  many  volunteers,  many  of  whom  are  residents  of  Hatfield,  over  60, 
some  students,  some  working  and  donating  precious  time  to  our  many  programs  and  activities.  We  cannot 
express  the  deep  appreciation  we  have  to  these  dedicated  people  for  their  skills,  knowledge,  time  and  assistance 
they  have  given  this  past  year.  The  volunteers  have  donated  approximately  4825  hours  of  service  to  our 
community.  These  services  would  have  cost  approximately  $36,895.00  if  we  were  to  pay  for  them.  We  applaud 
them  and  honor  them  at  our  yearly  Volunteer  Recognition  each  Spring. 

The  Council  on  Aging  consists  of  5  Board  Members,  Mary  Brennan,  William  Podmayer,  Rev.  Worth  Noyes, 
Barbara  Hurley,  and  Tony  Gillespie.  Our  Staff,  Jane  Betsold,  COA  Director;  Barbara  Goll,  our  Dining  Center 
Director;  COA  Van  Drivers;  Meals  on  Wheels  Drivers;  June  May,  our  Volunteer  Coordinator/Assistant;  and  our 
many  volunteers.  The  Council  on  Aging  and  Senior  Center  are  located  downstairs  in  the  Town  Hall  and  are  open 
Monday  through  Friday.  We  may  be  reached  at  247-9003,  and  if  there  is  no  answer,  please  leave  a  message  on 
the  machine.  Our  meetings  are  held  monthly  at  the  Senior  Center  and  dates  and  times  are  posted  outside  the 
Town  Clerk's  office.  We  encourage  all  elders  to  attend  these  meetings  and  welcome  any  comments,  concerns,  or 
suggestions  concerning  the  Council  on  Aging  or  Nutrition  programs.  We  attend  local  and  regional  meetings  with 
other  agencies  to  update  our  information  and  resources  and  expand  on  new  programs  available  to  us. 

We  have  applied  for  and  received  grants  from  Highland  Valley  Elder  Services,  to  fund  our  Nutrition  Program, 
and  our  Newsletter.  Also,  from  The  Executive  Office  of  Elder  Affairs  to  provide  a  Program  Coordinator/Office 
Assistant,  Volunteer  Recognition,  and  to  establish  new  programs.  The  Hatfield  Book  Club  was  generous  in 
providing  us  with  funding  for  misc.  items  needed  for  the  kitchen  and  Dining  Center. 

Our  Newsletter  is  mailed  to  each  town  resident  over  60  and  contains  the  activities  and  programs  sponsored  by  the 
Council  on  Aging  and  other  agencies.  Copies  are  available  at  the  Senior  Center.  Due  to  cuts  in  our  funding  from 
Highland  Valley  we  were  unable  to  publish  a  couple  of  newsletters  this  past  year.  We  hope  to  get  back  on  track 
again  this  year.  We  have  available  free  flyers  and  pamphlets  outside  the  Senior  Center  concerning  various  topics. 
We  also  have  a  variety  of  videotapes  available  through  the  TRIAD  Program  on  safety  issues,  which  we  lend  out. 
We  have  a  large  selection  of  books  on  display  in  our  Senior  Center.  Anyone  wishing  to  borrow  a  book  or  would 
like  to  donate  books,  please  stop  by  the  Senior  Center.  All  senior  activities,  sign  up  sheets,  and  programs  are 
displayed  on  the  bulletin  board,  located  in  the  Senior  Center. 

PROGRAMS: 

TRANSPORTATION:  Our  Transportation  Program  is  running  very  well  thanks  to  the  support  of  the 
community.  We  have  been  able  to  keep  up  with  the  needed  trips,  however  we  do  find  at  times  we  cannot 
accommodate  everyone.  We  must  remind  everyone  that  we  have  a  very  busy  schedule  and  need  to  have  your 
appointments  called  in  to  us  as  soon  as  possible.  Transportation  with  the  COA  van  is  available  to  all  persons 
residing  in  Hatfield,  age  60  or  older,  with  priority  given  to  those  without  any  transportation.  Appointments  can 


70 


be  made  by  calling  the  COA  office.  Our  van  drivers,  Marion  Lapienski,  Nancy  Noyes,  John  Rankin,  and  Ethel 
Podmayer  provided  trips  for  weekly  medical  appointments,  lunch  pick  up  and  return,  grocery  shopping,  mall 
shopping,  banking,  hair  appointments,  dialysis,  adult  daycare,  and  misc.  trips  for  2001.  We  thank  them  for  their 
dedication  and  patience  and  the  assistance  they  provide  our  passengers.  Due  to  the  aging  of  our  blue  van,  we 
have  submitted  to  Capital  planning  to  purchase  a  new  van  for  FY '03.  However,  due  to  budget  cuts  we  may  have 
to  wait  another  year.  Provided  our  vans  are  able  to  keep  running  efficiently,  we  hope  to  have  support  of  this  van 
for  next  year.  Because  we  have  no  other  public  transportation  for  Hatfield  Residents  over  60,  the  importance 
of  this  vehicle  is  greater  than  people  understand.  Please  support  us,  to  insure  transportation  for  these  residents. 

NUTRITION  PROGRAM:  Funded  by  Highland  Valley  Elder  Services,  our  hot  lunch  program  is  available 
Monday  through  Friday  (no  Holidays),  at  12:00  noon  at  the  Senior  Center  in  Town  Hall  for  all  persons  over  60 
years  of  age.  Reservations  should  be  made  at  least  24  hours  in  advance,  by  calling  the  Dining  Center  Director, 
Barbara  Goll  at  247-0480,  Monday  through  Friday  from  10:00  AM  to  1:00  PM.  Our  Meals  on  Wheels  Drivers, 
Robert  Tefft  and  Kathy  Tefft  are  very  dedicated  to  the  program,  which  is  extremely  important  to  persons  living 
alone.  Many  times  they  are  the  only  people  having  daily  contact  with  Home  Delivered  Meals  Participants. 
Persons  interested  in  Home  Delivered  meals  should  contact  Barbara  Goll.  Monthly  menus  are  available  at  the 
Center.  The  Nutrition  Program  is  not  only  important  nutritionally,  but  also  serves  as  a  wonderful  social  activity 
each  day.  For  one  hour  each  day  you  can  come  to  the  Center,  have  a  hot  lunch,  visit  with  a  group  of  wonderful 
people,  and  you  don't  have  to  wash  dishes!  Volunteers  and  Drivers  served  and  delivered  over  12,000  congregate 
and  home  delivered  meals  last  year. 

OTHER  PROGRAMS:  We  have  coordinated  and  organized  many  health  clinics,  programs,  and  speakers 
which  consisted  of  the  following:  the  Annual  Flu  Clinic  was  available  to  all  persons  over  60,  at  risk  residents, 
and  public  safety  personnel.  Cindy  Sadowski  volunteered  her  services  again  to  administer  the  vaccine,  which  was 
provided  by  the  Mass.  Department  of  Public  Health;  Monthly  Blood  Pressure  Screenings,  provided  by  volunteer 
nurses  are  held  the  2nd  Monday  of  each  month.  The  Fuel  Assistance  Program,  sponsored  by  the  Franklin

Medical  &  Nutrition  Speakers;  Assistance  to  elders  for  Tax  Abatements;  the  TRIAD  Program,  involving  Senior 
Citizens,  Police  Department,  and  the  Council  on  Aging.  A  special  THANKS  to  all  the  S.A.L.T.  Council 
members;  Lt.Thomas  Osley,  and  Jane  Betsold,  who  work  so  hard  to  keep  our  TRIAD  Program  a  great  success.  A 
reminder  to  all  residents  over  60.  Please  return  your  Emergency  Contact  Forms  for  the  Police  Department.  We 
are  looking  for  volunteers  to  provide  basic  computer  instruction  for  those  who  do  not  know  how  to  run  them,  so 
if  anyone  is  knowledgeable  and  interested  please  contact  the  COA  office.  Our  outreach  and  assistance  to  at  risk 
elders  has  increased  considerably  this  past  year.  Please  don't  hesitate  to  call  our  office  before  small  problems  get 
too  difficult  to  handle.  Our  thanks  for  those  who  donated  items  to  our  Medical  Equipment  &  Loan  Program.  We 
have  medical  equipment  available  to  loan  free  of  charge  at  the  COA  office.  Items  donated  by  local  residents  help 
those  who  may  need  a  cane,  walker,  wheelchair,  tub  seat,  commode,  or  misc.  items.  Anyone  wishing  to  donate 
any  clean,  usable  items,  please  contact  the  office.  Recreational  Activities  available  were  weekly  bridge,  weekly 
bingo  games,  evening  bingo  parties,  holiday  parties,  mall  shopping,  movie  trips,  and  motorcoach  trips.  Various 
intergenerational  programs  were  held  in  cooperation  with  the  local  schools. 

The  Council  on  Aging  provides  services  to  over  743  Hatfield  residents  age  60  and  over.  We  continue  to  maintain 
our  current  programs  and  activities  and  look  ahead  to  what  might  be  needed  in  the  future.  Our  goal  is  to  provide 
the  best  quality  of  services  to  the  community  and  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  growing  population  of  residents  to  the 
best  of  our  ability.  Working  with  local  and  regional  agencies,  we  succeed  by  identifying  and  developing 
community  resources,  provide  needed  information,  referral,  and  outreach  on  safety,  health,  nutrition  and 
education.  We  are  very  fortunate  to  have  a  community  which  supports  us  with  the  necessary  services  needed  to 
maintain  elders  independent  living  at  home  and  to  provide  a  healthy,  safe  environment  to  enhance  their  quality  of 


71 


life.  Do  not  wait  until  there  is  a  need,  explore  your  future,  know  what  is  available  ahead  of  time  and  be  prepared 
for  whatever  life  may  toss  your  way.    We  encourage  the  public  to  become  involved  in  what  we  are  doing  and 
support  ideas  to  provide  for  a  better  way  of  life.

HATFIELD  TRIAD  PROGRAM 


To  the  Residents  of  Hatfield: 


The  Hatfield  TRIAD  program  completed  its  seventh  year.  TRIAD  addresses  quality  of  life  issues  for  Hatfield's 
senior  population  such  as  crime  prevention  and  safety  in  the  home.  Elders  unfortunately  are  one  of  the  most 
victimized  portions  of  society.  One  of  our  goals  is  to  instill  a  feeling  of  security  in  our  older  citizens.  This  goal  is 
accomplished  through  the  cooperation  of  the  Council  on  Aging,  Police  Department  and  the  senior  citizens 
themselves.  The  seniors  form  a  S.A.L.T.  Council,  which  stands  for  Seniors  And  Lawmen  Together.  They  work 
with  the  Council  on  Aging  Director  and  the  TRIAD  Officer  to  identify  and  solve  problems  in  the  elder 
community. 

The  Hatfield  S.A.L.T.  Council  members  include  Mary  Brennan,  Ann  Burda,  Ellie  Gillespie,  Tony  Gillespie, 
Marion  Lapienski,  June  May,  Dick  Mooney,  Don  Samms,  Iris  Sawin,  Helen  Sikorski,  Betty  Swiercz  and  Kathy 
Tefft.  Don  Samms  and  Dick  Mooney  are  also  on  the  Hampshire  Franklin  Steering  Committee. 

Our  project  for  the  year  was  an  Emergency  Contact  List.  This  is  an  extremely  important  endeavor.  Through  it 
Emergency  Services  (Police,  Fire  and  Ambulance)  will  have  a  list  of  every  Hatfield  senior  citizen  and  who  they 
would  like  contacted  in  case  of  emergency.  A  form  was  sent  out  several  times  with  the  Council  on  Aging 
newsletter  to  be  filled  out  with  names  and  phone  numbers  of  family  or  relatives.  If  something  were  to  happen  to 
a  senior,  contact  would  be  able  to  be  made  with  these  people  quickly.  If  any  senior  has  not  returned  the  form  to 
the  Council  on  Aging  office,  please  do  so  as  soon  as  possible.  We  would  like  to  have  a  complete  list.  Don't  be 
left  out. 

Another  project  we  introduced  was  the  Smoke/CO  Detector  Distribution  Program.  This  was  coordinated  with  the 
Hatfield  Fire  Department  and  the  Hatfield  Council  on  Aging.  The  program  distributed  the  detectors  to  senior 
citizens  in  Hatfield  free  of  charge  through  funding  from  the  Hampshire  County  Sheriffs  Office.  This  program  is 
an  ongoing  endeavor.  If  interested  in  obtaining  a  smoke  or  CO  detector  please  contact  the  Council  on  Aging 
office.  The  detectors  will  be  installed  by  members  of  the  Hatfield  Fire  Department. 

The  Fourth  Annual  Safety  Awareness  Night  held  in  June  at  the  Hatfield  Lions  Club  Pavilion.  There  were  many 
speakers  and  demonstrations  of  how  to  keep  safe  in  the  home.  Personnel  from  the  Fire  Department  showed  off 
their  new  fire  truck  to  the  citizenry.  It  is  a  beautiful  piece  of  equipment  which  will  serve  the  people  of  Hatfield 
well.  Kathy  Alexander  from  the  Northwest  District  Attorney's  office  spoke  to  the  people  about  the  operation  of 
the  D.A.'s  office  and  how  people  may  use  it. 

OTHER  SERVICES  OFFERED  BY  TRIAD 


HOME  VISITATION  PROGRAM:  Visits  to  elders  who  live  alone  or  are  homebound  are  done  on  a  regularly 
scheduled  basis.  The  visits  are  important  to  let  seniors  know  that  someone  will  be  looking  in  on  them.  The  people 
that  are  visited  enjoy  having  someone  different  with  which  to  talk  about  any  problems  they  might  have.  Being 
alone  is  a  very  difficult  thing  for  anyone.  72 


HOME  SECURITY  CHECKS:  The  TRIAD  Officer  will  come  to  the  senior's  home  and  does  a  survey  with 
recommendations  of  ways  to  make  the  home  a  safer  place.  The  survey  goes  a  long  way  to  improve  peace  of  mind 
that  the  occupants  are  themselves  safe. 

VIDEOTAPING  OF  HOMES:  The  TRIAD  Officer  videotapes  homes  and  valuables  within  the  home  to  be  used 
in  case  of  disasters  for  making  insurance  claims.  The  homeowner  retains  the  tape  in  a  safe  place. 

EMERGENCY  LIGHTS:  These  lights  are  screwed  into  an  existing  outside  light  and  the  bulb  is  screwed  into  it. 
When  the  switch  is  thrown  once  it  works  normally.  If  it  is  thrown  twice  it  blinks  on  and  off  making  the  locating 
of  your  home  easier  for  emergency  personnel. 

FILES  OF  LIFE:  Files  of  Life  are  available  to  any  Hatfield  resident  60  or  over  free  of  charge.  These  files 
magnetically  attach  to  the  refrigerator  door  and  contain  key  medical  information  in  case  of  emergency.  They  have 
been  valuable  in  the  past  and  EMS  personnel  look  for  them  immediately. 

EMERGENCY  PREPAREDNESS  BOOKLETS:  These  booklets  were  compiled  by  the  Hatfield  TRIAD  to 
assist  seniors  in  the  event  of  a  natural  catastrophe.  It  instructs  people  where  to  go  and  who  to  call. 

"HELP  ME"  PERSONAL  ALARMS:  Carried  on  the  person  or  kept  handy  these  alarms  emit  a  very,  very  loud 
noise  when  the  pin  is  pulled  which  attracts  attention  to  the  person  needing  help. 

Any  of  the  above  products  and  services  may  be  had  by  calling  the  Council  on  Aging  Office  at  247-9003.  They  are 
available  free  of  charge  to  any  Hatfield  resident  60  and  over. 

TRIAD  NEWSLETTER:  A  newsletter  with  TRIAD  information  and  home  security  tips  is  distributed  along 
with  the  Council  on  Aging  newsletter  several  times  a  year.  It  contains  many  interesting  facts  about  what  TRIAD 
is  doing. 

TRIAD  MEETINGS:  S.A.L.T.  Council  meetings  are  held  monthly  downstairs  in  the  Town  Hall  in  the  Senior 
Dining  Room.  They  are  usually  held  the  third  Tuesday  of  the  month.  The  public  is  invited  to  attend  and  new 
people  are  always  welcome.  Call  The  Council  on  Aging  Office  for  exact  dates  and  times. 

At  this  time  I  would  again  like  to  thank  Chief  David  Hurley  for  all  his  support  and  help  since  we  began  the 
program  seven  years  ago.  I  say  the  same  thing  every  year  but  I  feel  that  it  bears  repeating.  Chief  Hurley  is  totally 
committed  to  the  Hatfield  TRIAD  program  and  to  the  senior  citizens  of  this  town  .  I  know  the  seniors  of  Hatfield 
appreciate  this  commitment  as  do  I  as  TRIAD  Officer.  The  S.A.L.T.  Council  deserves  much  praise  and  thanks. 
Their  complete  dedication  to  the  TRIAD  Program  has  helped  to  make  it  the  success  it  has  become  over  the  years. 
They  are  much  appreciated.  I  also  need  to  thank  Council  on  Aging  Director  Jane  Betsold  for  the  tireless  effort 
she  gives.  When  something  needs  to  be  done  we  can  count  on  Jane  to  get  it  done.  Also  another  good  friend  to 
TRIAD  needs  to  be  singled  out.  June  May  not  only  serves  on  the  S.A.L.T  Council  but  also  does  a  lot  of  the  office 
work  for  us.  Thanks,  June.  I  would  be  remiss  if  I  neglected  to  thank  Dick  Mooney  and  Don  Samms  for  their  hard 
work  on  the  Hampshire  Franklin  Steering  Committee.  They  put  in  a  lot  of  extra  time  and  effort  into  improving 
the  Hatfield  TRIAD  program  through  their  work  with  this  committee.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  members  of  the 
Hatfield  Fire  Department  for  their  help,  past  and  present.  Finally  I  would  like  to  thank  District  Attorney 
Elizabeth  Scheibel  and  her  staff  for  their  continuing  support  to  the  whole  TRIAD  concept.  All  one  needs  to  do  is 
ask  for  help  and  someone  in  District  Attorney  Scheibel' s  office  is  there  to  help. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Lt.  Thomas  Osley,  TRIAD  Officer

DRUG  ABUSE  RESISTANCE  EDUCATION 

In  June  of  2001  we  graduated  our  12th  class  of  D.A.R.E.  students  from  Dorothy  M.  Breor  Elementary  School.  It  was 
a  tremendous  year  with  lots  of  learning  and  having  fun.  We  graduated  28  students  who  moved  up  to  Smith 
Academy  to  begin  their  newest  experience  to  growing  up.  I  have  complete  confidence  in  their  ability  to  resist  the 
temptation  of  drugs,  alcohol,  tobacco  and  violence.  This  years  Massachusetts  D.A.R.E.  Graduate  was  Lindsay 
Plourde.  Mrs.  Plourde,  Lindsay  and  myself  took  a  day  trip  to  the  State  House  in  Boston  where  Lindsay  received  a 
State  D.A.R.E.  Graduation  Certificate  and  Tee  Shirt.  After  the  Graduation  Ceremony  we  went  to  the  Hard  Rock 
Cafe  for  lunch  and  then  a  trip  to  the  John  Handcock  Building  to  the  top  floor.  It  was  quite  and  experience  and 
adventure  for  Mrs.  Plourde  ask  her! ! ! !  I  know  that  she  will  say  the  coolest  thing  was  the  ride  in  the  limousine  to 
Boston  and  back.  The  limo  was  so  big  that  we  invited  a  second  student  to  accompany  us  to  Boston  and  it  was 
Jillian  "Jellybean"  Strycharz  and  I  know  that  she  had  a  ball  also.  We  have  to  thank  Executive  Limousine  for  their 
generosity  for  that.  We  had  our  D.A.R.E.  graduation  the  same  night  as  the  ceremony  and  it  seemed  to  work  out 
fine. 

In  June  I  accompanied  the  eighth  grade  to  Washington  D.C.  That  was  one  of  the  most  fun  trips  that  I've  had  in 
awhile.  This  class  is  some  much  fun  to  be  with  and  maybe  because  they  are  as  crazy  as  I  am  when  it  comes  to 
having  fun.  I  believe  that  we  have  to  write  ahead  of  time  to  see  if  Washington  D.C.  will  be  ready  for  us  again. 
Between  Sly's  relatives,  pizza  parties,  swimming  parties,  escalator  traveling,  strange  girls,  strange  people,  hot  sun 
glasses,  food  fights,  normal  teenager  differences,  broken  shoes,  strange  clothes,  strange  lifeguards  it  was  a  BALL 
and  I  can't  wait  to  go  again. 

In  August  we  had  our  second  Hatfield  D.A.R.E.  Summer  Day  Program  and  it  was  a  hit  again.  We  had  almost  55 
kids  from  the  fourth  and  fifth  grades  and  almost  55  kids  from  the  sixth  and  seventh  grades.  Thank  goodness  for 
"time  out  buckets"  since  the  weather  was  extremely  hot  but  it  slowed  no  one  down.  We  did  tye  dye  shirts,  rock 
climbing,  Birds  of  Prey  gave  a  presentation,  the  State  Police  came  in  with  their  water  rescue,  canine,  motorcycle 
and  air  wing  (helicopter),  we  traveled  to  Look  Park  for  the  day  where  the  kids  enjoyed  the  train,  miniature  golf, 
bumper  boats,  water  park,  zoo  and  a  great  lunch  cooked  by  our  staff  and  volunteer  parents. 

We  went  to  Interskate  91  for  a  private  skating  party.  The  best  part  was  the  bonding  of  the  students  and  staff.  Our 
Staff/Peer  Leaders  are  the  best  and  Becky  Antosz  and  Brittney  Wickles  got  an  opportunity  to  go  swimming  in  the 
bumper  pool  water.  OOPS,  they  slipped! ! ! ! ! !  I  still  want  to  know  who  broke  my  super  soaker.  I  have  to  thank  the 
Governor's  Alliance  Against  Drugs  who  funded  the  event  and  Northwestern  District  Attorney  Elizabeth  Scheibel 
who  sponsored  the  Summer  Program.  Thanks  to  all  the  parents  who  volunteered  for  the  Look  Park  trip  and  their 
help  during  lunch  periods.  We  have  to  also  thank  C  &  S  Wholesalers  for  the  donation  of  all  of  the  food  and  drinks 
necessary  for  the  two  weeks.  This  Summer  Program  was  a  great  Town  effort  and  everyone  pulled  together  and  did 
what  had  to  be  done  to  make  this  Program  the  best.  The  Friday  night  family  cook  out  was  a  big  success  and  a  lot  of 
people  found  out  that  night  that  they  can  still  get  up  a  wall.  The  planning  for  the  Summer  Day  Program  for  2002  is 
now  being  planned  but  with  all  the  State  budget  cuts  the  D.A.R.E.  Program  may  not  survive  the  knife.  I  think  that 
the  Summer  Day  Program  was  the  highlight  of  the  year.  I  never  saw  so  many  kids  grow  in  that  one  week  as  far  as 
self  esteem,  confidence  and  maturity  goes  then  ever  before.  Again,  this  was  all  due  to  the  great  staff  that  we  had. 

In  September  I  went  to  the  Nature's  Classroom  with  the  Seventh  grade  for  the  entire  week  and  what  an  experience 
that  was.  ALL  GOOD! !  Lack  of  sleep  and  bad  back  I  survived  -  barely.  I  never  saw  so  many  kids  with  so  much 
energy.  They  were  worse  than  the  ever  ready  battery  bunny  -  because  they  kept  going  and  going  and  going  and 

going I  was  impressed  with  the  staff  at  this  Classroom  as  they  worked  very  well  together  and  were  at  the  same 

level  of  the  kids  and  sometimes  needed  to  tell  me  to  grow  up  and  act  my  age!!!  But,  we  all  had  fun  and  learned  a 
lot.  Some  kids  liked  the  blood  and  guts  of  cutting  up  dead  things.  Others  liked  to  check  the  water  and  contents  of 
the  Bay.  Just  the  walks  in  the  woods  was  entertaining  and  educational.  Mr.  Blue  and  Josh  learned  how  to  belly- 
flop  in  standing  water  others  just  laughed.  It  was  a  great  experience  and  would  suggest  to  all  parents  to  have  their 
children  attend  this  week  of  learning  and  growing. 

The  Youth  Center  remained  open  during  the  year  and  we  started  showing  movies  at  the  Breor  Elementary  School 
on  Saturdays.  Movie  selections  can  be  hard  since  we  have  to  be  sure  we  select  the  proper  ones  for  the  kids  to  see.  I 
have  to  thank  Rick  Crooks  and  his  family  for  all  their  help  during  this.  It  is  still  continuing  now  and  we  have 
shown  some  first  line  movies  that  have  just  come  out  in  the  movie  theaters.  We  made  a  few  trips  to  Interskate  91 
during  the  Fall.

I  feel  I  have  to  advise  the  Town's  people  that  because  of  the  State  crunch  there  may  not  be  any  monies  for  the 
D.A.R.E.  Program  coming  from  the  State  in  2002  -  2003.  If  this  happens  than  I  will  come  up  with  some  other 
means  of  continuing  this  important  Program.  What  I  don't  know  yet,  but  I'll  find  something. 

I  want  to  thank  all  the  Town's  people  for  their  continued  support  especially  the  Chief  of  Police,  David  M.  Hurley 
for  his  support.  The  schools  and  teachers  who  bend  over  backwards  year  after  year  for  me  and  the  kids.  Most  of  all 
I  want  to  thank  the  students  that  I  have  had  the  honor  of  teaching.  I  want  to  thank  them  for  letting  me  into  their 
lives  and  hearts.  There  are  many  special  kids  out  there  that  when  they  get  hurt  or  mess  up  it  hurts  me  as  much  as  it 
hurts  them.  To  me  they  are  my  kids  and  I  will  always  feel  that  way  until  I  stop  doing  this  Program.  Even  after  I 
stop  doing  this  Program  I  hope  I  will  still  be  allowed  into  their  lives. 

Respectfully  Submitted, 
Gregory  Weeks,  D.A.R.E.  Officer 

VETERANS'  COMMEMORATIVE  COMMITTEE 

The  2001  Memorial  Day  Observances  were  held  indoors  in  the  Smith  Academy  Gymnasium  due  to  the  threat  of 
severe  rain.  We  were  honored  to  have  as  the  guest  speaker  Massachusetts  Department  of  Veterans  Services 
Commissioner  Tom  Kelley.  Commissioner  Kelley,  also  a  retired  Captain  from  the  Navy,  is  one  of  two  living 
recipients  of  the  Congressional  Medal  of  Honor  from  Massachusetts  and  one  of  only  150  surviving  recipients 
nationwide.  The  ceremony  was  the  first  to  have  the  participation  of  Hatfield  Department  of  Schools'  new  student 
band  including  an  excellent  playing  of  taps  by  Sara  Demers  and  Nathan  Chmura.  Town  residents  Lynn  Anne 
Parsons  and  Sophie  Szych  provided  musical  solos.  Rev.  Robert  Coonan,  Pastor  of  the  St.  Joseph's  and  Holy 
Trinity  Churches  gave  the  invocation  and  the  American  Legion  Post  344  provided  the  Color  Guard  and  Firing 
Squad  (led  by  Sergeant  At  Arms  Ken  Balise).  Smith  Academy  students  Stacy  Widelo  read  an  excerpt  of  a  Patrick 
Henry  speech  and  Abbas  Tanney  recited  Lincoln's  Gettysburg  Address.  As  he  has  done  for  so  many  years,  Lt.  Col. 
William  Olszewski,  USAF  Retired,  was  our  master  of  ceremonies. 

For  years,  four  bronze  plaques  honoring  men  and  women  from  Hatfield  who  served  in  the  military  during  the  War 
of  Independence,  the  Civil  War,  World  War  I,  and  World  War  II  were  on  display  in  the  foyer  of  the  Memorial 
Town  Hall. 

On  November  11,  2001  a  multi-year  project  was  completed  when  two  more  commemorative  plaques  were 
dedicated  honoring  Hatfield  veterans  who  served  during  conflicts  since  1945. 

On  that  day,  as  part  of  our  Veterans'  Day  ceremony,  the  Board  of  Selectmen,  Assistant  Majority  Leader  Stan 
Rosenberg  (our  representative  in  the  State  Senate)  along  with  members  of  this  committee  unveiled  and  dedicated 
two  new  plaques  mounted  on  boulders  in  front  of  the  Memorial  Town  Hall  honoring  those  who  served  during  the 
Lebanon/Grenada,  Panama,  and  Persian  Gulf  conflicts.  The  official  party  was  joined  by  members  of  Hatfield's 
American  Legion  Post  344  who  provided  a  color  guard  and  ceremonial  firing  squad.  In  addition,  taps  were  played 
by  bugler  Sara  Demers,  and  musical  selections  were  presented  by  singer  Sophie  Szych.  These  plaques  now  join  the 
two  from  the  Korean  and  Vietnam  wars  that  were  previously  dedicated  on  Veterans'  Day  2000  in  a  similar 
ceremony. 

The  committee  would  like  to  recognize  the  unrelenting  efforts  of  committee  member  Robert  Cutter  who  took  the 
lead  on  the  plaque  project  from  start  to  finish.  Also,  special  thanks  to  Charles  &  Laura  Eberlein,  Bob  &  Joan 
Bartlett,  and  Nancy  &  Henry  Gessing  for  the  donation  of  the  boulders  upon  which  the  plaques  are  mounted,  along 
with  thanks  to  the  Hatfield  DPW  for  moving  and  placing  the  boulders. 

Finally,  we  ask  all  townspeople  to  keep  in  their  thoughts  and  prayers  the  members  of  the  Armed  Forces  who  are 
now  serving  in  the  war  against  terrorism. 

Respectfully  submitted,
